Painted Interior Pieces
Well for a few weeks now every now and then i've had a chance i have been prepping some of my interior pieces for paint (radio bezel, center console). 2 days ago i went ahead and painted, here's the end result. IMO not bad for my first time painting anything. Going to install them back on this weekend. Also since the console was out I installed my leather console cover from corvette mods. What do you guys think?

They look pretty good, however, it does appear you need a bit more practice. Please forward me your address and I will bite the bullet and send you my entire interior for you to improve your skills on....
JK, they look great!

Our stock bezels have i would say a vinyl textured finish. What i did was wetsand with various grits until all texture was gone. Then primered the pieces, wetsanded again. Shot the paint and clear. After the pieces were dry i shot another coat of clear.
